It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Four Elms: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
