Non-Slip Bath Coating for Crockham Heath homes
Our technicians come to Crockham Heath for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating in Crockham Heath without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Crockham Heath
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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Before booking anyone

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Crockham Heath
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Crockham Heath?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no charge for travel to Crockham Heath. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Crockham Heath
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
