How we handle non-slip bath coating in Street
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Street and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Street
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When we’d advise against a repair
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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
