It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Waterdale

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Waterdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Waterdale

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Waterdale. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
