About our non-slip bath coating in Appleby Parva
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Appleby Parva
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
