Non-slip bath coating at your home in Grendon
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Grendon?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Grendon, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common questions in Grendon
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
