How we handle non-slip bath coating in Podsmead
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Podsmead as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, 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.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. 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 price.
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 treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
