How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Northwick
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits
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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths

- Resurfaced baths
What affects the price in Northwick
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Most customers in Northwick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Northwick
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Northwick?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
