Non-slip bath coating in Clappersgate without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Clappersgate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Clappersgate: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Clappersgate?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clappersgate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

  • How your room will be protected
