Repairing versus replacing in Walcot
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Walcot questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Walcot?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
