Non-slip bath coating in Chitty without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Chitty
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Chitty?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you work in Chitty?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chitty for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Chitty. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chitty. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
