Non-slip bath & shower coating in Ditchling, West Sussex

Non-slip bath coating in Ditchling, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Ditchling: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will say what we think.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Ditchling. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ditchling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
