About our non-slip bath coating in Eastgate
The coating is clear and textured, 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Eastgate
We charge the same across the UK, including Eastgate. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Eastgate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Eastgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastgate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
