DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Non-slip bath coating in Audley, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Audley
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
