Non-slip bath coating in Nettlestead, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Nettlestead
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Nettlestead?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Nettlestead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Nettlestead?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
