Non-slip bath coating in Keycol, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Keycol
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in Keycol?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Keycol from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Keycol get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
