Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in Ovington, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Other services in Ovington
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ovington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ovington
Do you cover Ovington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ovington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Ovington. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Ovington
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
