How we handle non-slip bath coating in Polbathic
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Polbathic
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Polbathic?

Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
