About our non-slip bath coating in Buckley Wood
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Buckley Wood: your questions answered
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Buckley Wood included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Buckley Wood?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Buckley Wood. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Buckley Wood, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Buckley Wood
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckley Wood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
