Non-slip bath coating in Ednam, done in place
It suits 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 worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Ednam
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace in Ednam?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we are called out for in Ednam

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
