Non-slip bath coating in Ickham without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Ickham
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ickham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ickham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Ickham

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ickham
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
