How the visit works
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 clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
About our non-slip bath coating in Foxhall
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Foxhall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
