Non-slip bath coating in Normanston, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Normanston
If you manage property in Normanston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Normanston
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Normanston
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 will 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.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
