About our non-slip bath coating in Ham
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. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Ham
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Ham questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Ham?
We do. We send a technician to Ham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Ham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
What we’re called out for in Ham
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
