Common questions in Burston
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Burston
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Burston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in Burston?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
