Non-slip bath coating at your home in Idbury
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Idbury
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no charge for travel to Idbury. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Idbury
Do you come to Idbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Idbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Idbury?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Idbury?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OX7 postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
