About our non-slip bath coating in Saxmundham
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Saxmundham
There is no area surcharge for Saxmundham. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Saxmundham
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
