Non-slip bath coating at your home in St Paul's
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for St Paul's
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Are there extra charges for St Paul's?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in St Paul's
Landlord and trade work in St Paul's
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
