How we handle non-slip bath coating in Arford
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repair or replace in Arford?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Arford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Arford questions
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GU35 postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Arford. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Arford.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
