Non-slip bath coating in Clifton without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we are called out for in Clifton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What affects the price in Clifton
We charge the same across the UK, including Clifton. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Clifton questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
