Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sole Street
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Sole Street
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Common reasons people in Sole Street contact us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sole Street
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Sole Street?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Repairing versus replacing in Sole Street
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
