About our non-slip bath coating in Sling
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Sling. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Sling?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
