When to call us in Chalkhouse Green
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chalkhouse Green
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. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Chalkhouse Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Chalkhouse Green
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Chalkhouse Green?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chalkhouse Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

- Outdoor surfaces

What we work on
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
