Repair or replace in Soulby?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Non-slip bath coating in Soulby without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Soulby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Soulby
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
