- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Alfriston
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Alfriston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Common problems we fix in Alfriston
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Common questions in Alfriston
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Alfriston?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in Alfriston
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are 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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
