Repairing versus replacing in Docklow
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Docklow
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, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Docklow. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
