About our non-slip bath coating in Puddledock
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Puddledock
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Puddledock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Puddledock
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Puddledock and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Puddledock?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
