How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hanscombe End
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Hanscombe End: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Hanscombe End?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hanscombe End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
