How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sandridge
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AL4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you come to Sandridge?

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
