Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hintlesham
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Hintlesham: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Hintlesham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hintlesham?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Hintlesham. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
