About our non-slip bath coating in Ash
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Ash
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Ash questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What affects the price in Ash
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
