Non-slip bath coating in Boxwell without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Most customers in Boxwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Boxwell
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Common reasons people in Boxwell contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
