How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hales
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Hales
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TF9 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TF9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Hales
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hales, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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.
