Non-slip bath coating in Lawrence Hill, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Lawrence Hill questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover Lawrence Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lawrence Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

All of Newport, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What affects the price in Lawrence Hill

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Common problems we fix in Lawrence Hill

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:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Lawrence Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lawrence Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
