Non-slip bath coating in Sandy without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Sandy questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What affects the price in Sandy
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Sandy get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandy
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
