About our non-slip bath coating in Saltdean
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Take a look at our pricing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltdean
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Brighton and Hove and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Saltdean
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Saltdean is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Saltdean, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When to call us in Saltdean
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:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
