Non-slip bath coating at your home in Appledore Heath
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 work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Appledore Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Appledore Heath questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Appledore Heath
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
