DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Non-slip bath coating in Tower Hill without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Tower Hill?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A 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 you book.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

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

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Tower Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tower Hill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
