About our non-slip bath coating in Hockliffe
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Hockliffe

Look out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Hockliffe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Hockliffe
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hockliffe?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LU7 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Hockliffe?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
