Non-slip bath coating in Ford, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in Ford
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ford
Do you work in Ford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ford included. Travel is included in the price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
