How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Alby
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. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alby as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
Alby: your questions answered
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Alby?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairing versus replacing in Alby
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
