Questions from Southcote
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
About our non-slip bath coating in Southcote
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
