How we handle non-slip bath coating in Foulden
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Foulden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Foulden
- Wet room floors (ask us)

- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Foulden
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Foulden
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
