You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in Westwood without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow 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.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Westwood?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

Landlord and trade work in Westwood

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
