What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no charge for travel to Old Down. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

About our non-slip bath coating in Old Down
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, 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.
- 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, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Old Down questions
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.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Common problems we fix in Old Down
