DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Martin
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Martin
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover Martin?
We do. Technicians travel to Martin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Martin
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
