Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ford
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Ford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We do not charge extra for travel to Ford. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ford
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
