What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newbottle
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newbottle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
