Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere like Wistanstow needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the non-slip bath coating, so there’s no second trip.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can you restore the original baths and shower trays in an older house in Wistanstow?

Do you cover villages like Wistanstow?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When to call us in Wistanstow
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wistanstow
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Wistanstow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair

- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Replacement in Wistanstow means trades, travel and waste removal, while non-slip bath coating is one trip.
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
