Advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Barbon
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Barbon
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you cover Barbon?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Barbon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
