Non-slip bath coating in Ware without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Ware
Repair or replace in Ware?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Ware

Clients typically contact us about:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Ware questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ware.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ware?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DT7 postcode.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
