Non-slip bath coating at your home in Pitcairngreen
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Pitcairngreen: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Pitcairngreen is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for Pitcairngreen. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Pitcairngreen
