It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ashwell

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Ashwell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashwell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Ashwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Ashwell questions

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you cover Ashwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashwell and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SG7 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Repair or replace in Ashwell?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Ashwell clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
