Non-slip bath coating in Five Ash Down, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for 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. The price 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
