Advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Handcross
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Handcross questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Handcross?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
