Non-slip bath coating in Bar End without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Bar End
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What affects the price in Bar End
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
