Repairing versus replacing in Abbotsbury

About our non-slip bath coating in Abbotsbury
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 before booking.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Abbotsbury?
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbotsbury
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no charge for travel to Abbotsbury. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
