Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lidsey
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.

Landlord and trade work in Lidsey
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
