How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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.

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ufford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Ufford
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Ufford
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Ufford
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
