Non-slip bath coating at your home in Laxdale
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Laxdale
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Laxdale
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover Laxdale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Laxdale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Laxdale included. Travel is included in the price.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Repair or replace in Laxdale?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Laxdale
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Laxdale as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Laxdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
