About our non-slip bath coating in Benhilton
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Benhilton?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: 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.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
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?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Common problems we fix in Benhilton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Benhilton questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Benhilton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Benhilton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SM1 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SM1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
