How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Non-slip bath coating in Idstone, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Idstone
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
