Related advice
Non-slip bath coating in Shepreth without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Shepreth
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Shepreth: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you work in Shepreth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shepreth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
