What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Armadale, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating in Armadale, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Armadale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
