What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Southwick, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Southwick
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. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Southwick: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Southwick?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
