Non-slip bath coating in Fickleshole, done in place
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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common problems we fix in Fickleshole
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fickleshole
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fickleshole, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
