Non-Slip Bath Coating in Firth

- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Non-slip bath coating in Firth without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Firth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in Firth
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Firth?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
