All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Redford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Redford?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Redford
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Redford?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Redford. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
