Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in West Ringstead
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Ringstead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from West Ringstead
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in West Ringstead?

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in West Ringstead?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
