Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Non-slip bath coating in New Barlborough, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in New Barlborough and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
