Non-slip bath coating at your home in Buckenham
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Buckenham
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What affects the price in Buckenham
There is no charge for travel to Buckenham. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Repair or replace in Buckenham?
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 each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
