Questions from West End
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Non-slip bath coating in West End without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in West End
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in West End
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in West End
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
