Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cold Christmas
It’s popular with 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. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Cold Christmas
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are there extra charges for Cold Christmas?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
