Non-Slip Bath Coating for Back o'th' Brook homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Back o'th' Brook and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Back o'th' Brook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Back o'th' Brook
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Back o'th' Brook
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
