  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths

Non-slip bath coating in Pakefield, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

FAQs for Pakefield

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work in Pakefield?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pakefield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business

  • One price list for the whole UK

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
