Non-slip bath coating in Mangrove Green, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Mangrove Green
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Mangrove Green: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What we’re called out for in Mangrove Green
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Mangrove Green
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mangrove Green use us as well as homeowners. 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. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
