How we handle non-slip bath coating in Broad Street
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Street, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Non-slip bath coating in place avoids all of that.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.

Broad Street questions
Can you repair baths and shower trays in a rental near Doleham station?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is generally quicker than replacing.
Can you restore the original baths and shower trays in an older house in Broad Street?
Typically: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send pictures and we will advise.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Broad Street
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- 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
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

Everything for the non-slip bath coating comes with us in one trip.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
