Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Non-slip bath coating in Burghfield, done in place
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. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Burghfield
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Burghfield?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RG30 postcode.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burghfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
