Non-Slip Bath Coating in Ottershaw
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Ottershaw, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in Ottershaw without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Ottershaw
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ottershaw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
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.
Landlord and trade work in Ottershaw
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
