Non-slip bath coating in Battle without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Battle
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Battle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For a price in Battle, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Are you a vetted contractor?

What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
