How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Chelwood Gate, done in place
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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chelwood Gate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Chelwood Gate questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
