Non-slip bath coating in Pratling Street without replacing anything
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. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Pratling Street?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
