Non-slip bath coating in Little Bardfield, done in place
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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Little Bardfield questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
What we’re called out for in Little Bardfield
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What affects the price in Little Bardfield
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
