Non-slip bath coating in Ambleside without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ambleside and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What else we do in Ambleside
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Ambleside questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Ambleside?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ambleside. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What affects the price in Ambleside
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
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’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
