What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Non-slip bath coating in Detling without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d 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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
