The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tallentire
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tallentire use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
