Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chaul End
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
