Advice
About our non-slip bath coating in South Clifton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in South Clifton and across Nottinghamshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in South Clifton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including South Clifton. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in South Clifton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
