Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Non-slip bath coating in Etwall, done in place

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 frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Etwall get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Etwall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
