Non-slip bath coating in Draethen, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Draethen
Draethen: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Draethen?
Instead, you could go for 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Draethen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
What affects the price in Draethen
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
