Non-slip bath coating at your home in New Invention
It’s popular with 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. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

New Invention: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
