Picketts Lock questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Picketts Lock
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Picketts Lock, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
