- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Non-slip bath coating in Chester, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Chester?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
