What affects the price in Throop
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Throop
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Advice
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What a repair can’t fix

Common problems we fix in Throop
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Landlords, agents and businesses in Throop
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
