Non-slip bath coating in Sidlow without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Sidlow
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Sidlow
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Sidlow?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sidlow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Sidlow
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Sidlow

What affects the price in Sidlow
There’s no area surcharge for Sidlow. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
