Non-slip bath coating in Apsley End, done in place
It’s popular with 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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Apsley End as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Apsley End and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Apsley End
Do you work in Apsley End?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Apsley End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Apsley End?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, 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 in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
