Non-Slip Bath Coating for Bath homes
Our technicians come to Bath for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Bath without replacing anything
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. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Bath
There is no charge for travel to Bath. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
