Non-slip bath coating in Shiney Row, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Shiney Row, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiney Row as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Shiney Row questions
Do you cover Shiney Row?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shiney Row from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Repairing versus replacing in Shiney Row
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
