- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths

- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays

Non-slip bath coating in Waterloo without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

What affects the price in Waterloo
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Waterloo, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in Waterloo
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before you book
