About our non-slip bath coating in Rudmore
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Rudmore: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Rudmore?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rudmore
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rudmore use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rudmore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Rudmore
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
