How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
About our non-slip bath coating in Athelington
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Athelington
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Athelington
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Athelington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Athelington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
