DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 usually cheaper.
About our non-slip bath coating in Buxton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Buxton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Buxton included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Buxton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Buxton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buxton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buxton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Buxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
Common problems we fix in Buxton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Buxton?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
