DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sketchley
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Advice
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Sketchley. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Sketchley
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Are there extra charges for Sketchley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Sketchley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Repairing versus replacing in Sketchley
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
