Non-slip bath coating in Downfield without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no charge for travel to Downfield. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Downfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repair or replace in Downfield?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Downfield
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better 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.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Downfield?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Downfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
