How we handle non-slip bath coating in Roade
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 will say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in Roade?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
