How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
We mask out the area to be treated.
We put on the clear non-slip coating.
We lift the masking for a clean edge.
Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

Have a window or extractor fan available
Keep a parking space free if you can
Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe Abbotts

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

Enamelled baths
Resurfaced baths

Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

The material and finish
Where the damage is and how we get to it
How many items we do on one visit
How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Abbotts. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Natural light rather than flash
A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Thorpe Abbotts?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
