Non-slip bath coating in Intake without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

FAQs for Intake

Are there extra charges for Intake?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What affects the price in Intake

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
