Non-slip bath coating at your home in Dent

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Unusual colours or finishes

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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

One sharp close-up of the damage

Common questions in Dent

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
