Non-slip bath coating in Summerhouse 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. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Summerhouse?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Summerhouse. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Summerhouse
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Summerhouse?
We do. We send a technician to Summerhouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
