Non-slip bath coating in The Folly without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The Folly questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in The Folly?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL4 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
When to call us in The Folly
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths

How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in The Folly get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Folly
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
