Non-slip bath coating at your home in Northend
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Northend
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Northend. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
