Non-slip bath coating in Gressenhall, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

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

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Gressenhall
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
