Non-slip bath & shower coating in Ifieldwood, West Sussex
Our technicians come to Ifieldwood for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating in Ifieldwood without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ifieldwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ifieldwood
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Ifieldwood
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ifieldwood?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
