About our non-slip bath coating in Ford
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Ford
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TA4 postcode.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Ford
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Repairing versus replacing in Ford
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left 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.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
