Non-slip bath coating in Higherford, done in place
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. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Higherford
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Higherford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Higherford questions
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Higherford?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB9 postcode.

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?

Do you cover Higherford?
We do. We send a technician to Higherford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairing versus replacing in Higherford
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
