Repairing versus replacing in Appledore
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Appledore, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Appledore
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Appledore is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What affects the price in Appledore
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Appledore, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
