FAQs for Walls
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Walls
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Walls
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Walls
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Walls. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What else we do in Walls
Landlord and trade work in Walls
For anyone letting property in or around Walls, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Walls
- Resurfaced baths

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
