Common questions in Surlingham
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Surlingham.
Non-slip bath coating in Surlingham without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Surlingham
For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Surlingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Surlingham
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
