How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Non-slip bath coating in Barkestone-le-Vale without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Barkestone-le-Vale
The alternatives are 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Barkestone-le-Vale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
