Non-slip bath coating in Holwell without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Holwell
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Holwell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Holwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Holwell
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you cover Holwell?
We do. We send a technician to Holwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
