How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Purley on Thames. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs

- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

If you are down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.

- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
