DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our non-slip bath coating in Bragbury End
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bragbury End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bragbury End, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Bragbury End
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bragbury End: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Bragbury End?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SG2 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
