About our non-slip bath coating in East Cliff
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in East Cliff
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Cliff use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Cliff. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
