Elrig questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Elrig?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Elrig. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Non-slip bath coating in Elrig without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no charge for travel to Elrig. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
