Non-Slip Bath Coating in Derby
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Derby and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Derby
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Derby
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Derby.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Derby
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise 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 take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Derby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derby and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
