Non-slip bath coating in Mabe Burnthouse, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Mabe Burnthouse: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Mabe Burnthouse?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Mabe Burnthouse from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
