DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
About our non-slip bath coating in Snailwell
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Snailwell
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Snailwell
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Snailwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
