How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tarves
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Tarves
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Tarves
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath 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 items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
