Non-slip bath coating in Bassett without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Bassett
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Bassett. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.
