Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
