Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our non-slip bath coating in Startforth
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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Startforth
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Startforth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Startforth: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
