When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
About our non-slip bath coating in Laycock
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Laycock questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we’re called out for in Laycock
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Laycock
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
