What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Newton Ketton without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Newton Ketton: your questions answered
Do you cover Newton Ketton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newton Ketton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Newton Ketton?
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
