Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Houghton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What affects the price in Houghton
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Houghton
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Houghton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Houghton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Houghton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Houghton
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
