Non-slip bath coating in Nine Ashes without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Nine Ashes questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Nine Ashes?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
When to call us in Nine Ashes
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in Nine Ashes
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
