Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
About our non-slip bath coating in Saltney
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 enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Saltney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. 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.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Saltney
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Saltney questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
