About our non-slip bath coating in Lordswood
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Lordswood
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Lordswood?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Lordswood, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
