The process

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newhaven
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Repair or replace in Newhaven?
The alternatives are 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Newhaven. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newhaven. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
