Non-slip bath coating in Oxclose, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Oxclose
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oxclose. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Oxclose
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Oxclose?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE38 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Oxclose
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Oxclose, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
