Non-slip bath coating in Saltersgill without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
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 pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Saltersgill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Saltersgill?
The alternatives are 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Saltersgill
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
