The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hemingstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Hemingstone questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hemingstone?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Hemingstone?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hemingstone and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Should you replace it?
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
