How we handle non-slip bath coating in Alvingham
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Alvingham
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Alvingham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alvingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Common problems we fix in Alvingham
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alvingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
