Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bethersden
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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 photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
