Common questions in Southmead
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Southmead?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Non-slip bath coating in Southmead without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Southmead?
The alternatives are 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Southmead?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
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, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southmead
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
