About our non-slip bath coating in Margaretting Tye
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Margaretting Tye

What affects the price in Margaretting Tye
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Margaretting Tye?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
