Non-slip bath coating in Barcombe without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Repairing versus replacing in Barcombe
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Barcombe
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What affects the price in Barcombe
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barcombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Barcombe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Barcombe
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
