Avon Common: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Non-slip bath coating in Avon Common, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Avon Common
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
