Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Walby
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
About our non-slip bath coating in Walby

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Walby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise 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 pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
If you’re in Walby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
When to call us in Walby
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What else we do in Walby
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
