Non-slip bath coating at your home in Dufton
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s 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.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not 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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Dufton: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Dufton?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Are there extra charges for Dufton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Dufton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
