Non-slip bath coating at your home in Arbourthorne
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Arbourthorne
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, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Arbourthorne
Smooth surfaces are 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
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Arbourthorne
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Arbourthorne. Prices do not change with location.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
