Non-slip bath coating in Balfour without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Balfour and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balfour use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we’re called out for in Balfour
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What affects the price in Balfour
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Balfour and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Balfour: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Balfour.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Balfour?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
