Non-slip bath coating in Robin Hood, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Robin Hood?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Robin Hood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Robin Hood: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
