- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Harelaw. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Harelaw
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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 start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Harelaw
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harelaw as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Harelaw questions
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When to call us in Harelaw
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
