Non-Slip Bath Coating in Arabella
Non-slip bath coating in Arabella without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then we come to you.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Arabella
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Arabella and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arabella
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Arabella, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Arabella
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Arabella is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
