Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hawthorn
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Hawthorn
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
