Non-slip bath coating in Bigton without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in Bigton
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our pricing.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bigton
If you manage property in Bigton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Bigton
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Common problems we fix in Bigton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet 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:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
