How we handle non-slip bath coating in Caddonfoot
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Caddonfoot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
