Non-Slip Bath Coating in Gravel Castle

About our non-slip bath coating in Gravel Castle
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Gravel Castle?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
