How we handle non-slip bath coating in St Nicholas
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Nicholas as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What else we do in St Nicholas
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’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

- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths

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 we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

St Nicholas questions
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in St Nicholas?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including St Nicholas and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
