About our non-slip bath coating in Pratt's Bottom
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BR6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
