Non-Slip Bath Coating for Jock's Lodge homes
Non-slip bath coating for Jock's Lodge, without a refit. Get a fixed quote from your photos, then we come to you.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 often lifts.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Jock's Lodge
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job 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.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the entire UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What else we do in Jock's Lodge
Jock's Lodge: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Jock's Lodge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
