The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

About our non-slip bath coating in Etherley Dene
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
FAQs for Etherley Dene
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
