How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Clock Face
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
