Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Non-slip bath coating in Heath, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Heath
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
