How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thorpe Market, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
