The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Greenside
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Greenside
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Greenside
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Greenside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
