About our non-slip bath coating in Lower Basildon
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Basildon and across Oxfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Lower Basildon
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
