About our non-slip bath coating in Piper's Ash
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Piper's Ash and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Piper's Ash
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
