About our non-slip bath coating in Leiston
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Leiston, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Leiston: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
