Non-slip bath coating in Fort Matilda without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Fort Matilda
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fort Matilda. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Fort Matilda
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

Questions from Fort Matilda
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Fort Matilda?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Fort Matilda and the rest of Inverclyde. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
All of Inverclyde, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Fort Matilda?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Fort Matilda?
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.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
