Non-slip bath coating in Forton Heath, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Forton Heath
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
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 will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
