Non-slip bath coating in Holmbush, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Holmbush. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Holmbush. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
