Non-slip bath coating in East Taphouse, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

East Taphouse questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What we’re called out for in East Taphouse
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
