Non-slip bath coating in Christchurch, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Christchurch as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Christchurch
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Christchurch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Christchurch

Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
