About our non-slip bath coating in Watlington
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Watlington
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watlington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
