About our non-slip bath coating in New Hunwick
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to New Hunwick. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Hunwick
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
