Non-slip bath coating in Sandford-on-Thames without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sandford-on-Thames
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Sandford-on-Thames?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths

- Shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
