Common questions in Plaidy
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Plaidy
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The type of damage
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.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Plaidy, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Plaidy
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Plaidy
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
