Questions from Brailsford
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Brailsford and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Non-slip bath coating in Brailsford without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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 normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Brailsford
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
