Non-slip bath coating in Holdenby, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Holdenby
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Holdenby get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Holdenby
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Holdenby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Holdenby and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Also in Holdenby
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
