Non-slip bath coating at your home in West Street
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in West Street
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you come to West Street?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to West Street. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Street
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace in West Street?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.
