Shaw: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Shaw?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shaw from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shaw
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shaw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Shaw
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before you book

- How changes to the job are handled

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shaw
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
