How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ickworth
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ickworth and across Suffolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Ickworth
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Ickworth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ickworth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ickworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 generally the cheaper route.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Ickworth. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Ickworth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
