How we handle non-slip bath coating in Porthill
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Porthill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Porthill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Porthill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Porthill. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing in Porthill
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
