  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before you book

Non-slip bath coating in Curbar, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Curbar

There’s no area surcharge for Curbar. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Curbar?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
