Non-slip bath coating in Heggatt Street without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Heggatt Street
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Heggatt Street
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Heggatt Street
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Heggatt Street
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
