About our non-slip bath coating in Bawburgh
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bawburgh
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bawburgh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Bawburgh
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
