Non-slip bath coating in Springwell, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Springwell
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Springwell?
We do. We send a technician to Springwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Springwell
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 after spotting one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
