Non-slip bath coating at your home in Appledore
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Appledore
Do you work in Appledore?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Appledore from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
For a price in Appledore, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
