How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ide Hill
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. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Questions from Ide Hill
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

We do. We send a technician to Ide Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Common problems we fix in Ide Hill
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
