Non-slip bath coating in Stretton without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stretton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Stretton
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Stretton
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Stretton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
