Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ditchling Common
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 acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Landlord and trade work in Ditchling Common
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ditchling Common
Smooth surfaces are 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.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ditchling Common
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ditchling Common. Prices don’t change with location.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
