How we handle non-slip bath coating in Catshaw
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

What else we do in Catshaw
Should you replace it?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common questions in Catshaw
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
