Non-slip bath coating in The Grove, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in The Grove and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in The Grove get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Grove use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from The Grove
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes The Grove. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in The Grove
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
