About our non-slip bath coating in Leadgate
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Leadgate
When to call us in Leadgate
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet 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 any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leadgate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leadgate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Questions from Leadgate
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What affects the price in Leadgate
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 you book.
