Non-slip bath & shower coating in Charlton, West Sussex

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Charlton without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Charlton
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Charlton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Charlton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Charlton.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Charlton. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
