About our non-slip bath coating in Lower Green
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Lower Green
We do not charge extra for travel to Lower Green. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Lower Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Lower Green
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you cover Lower Green?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lower Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
