What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Golden Valley
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Golden Valley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Golden Valley: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Golden Valley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Golden Valley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
