Non-slip bath coating in Earlstone Common, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Common problems we fix in Earlstone Common
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Earlstone Common get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Earlstone Common use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
