It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Non-slip bath coating in Newingreen without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newingreen as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Newingreen questions

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Newingreen
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
