How we handle non-slip bath coating in Oaker Hill
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Oaker Hill
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Oaker Hill?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO9 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repair or replace in Oaker Hill?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
What affects the price in Oaker Hill
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
