Non-slip bath coating in Kersey, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kersey questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Kersey?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Repairing versus replacing in Kersey
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
