DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Non-slip bath coating in Unstone, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
FAQs for Unstone
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Unstone is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Unstone
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
