How we handle non-slip bath coating in Salph End
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Salph End
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Salph End?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- 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
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Salph End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
