About our non-slip bath coating in Shiplake
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 frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shiplake. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Shiplake
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Shiplake?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shiplake. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Shiplake, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
