How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bitterscote
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bitterscote. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Bitterscote?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Bitterscote questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you cover Bitterscote?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bitterscote from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Bitterscote
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What we do, step by step

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
