Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Non-slip bath coating in Merstone without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Merstone questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Merstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Merstone?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Merstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
