About our non-slip bath coating in South Chailey
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. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
South Chailey: your questions answered
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN8 postcode.
Do you come to South Chailey?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to South Chailey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What affects the price in South Chailey
There is no charge for travel to South Chailey. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in South Chailey

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in South Chailey
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
