Common questions in Martin Dales
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
About our non-slip bath coating in Martin Dales
It suits 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 shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Martin Dales. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
