Non-slip bath coating at your home in The Grove
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The Grove questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
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 do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to The Grove?
We do. Repair technicians travel to The Grove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we are called out for in The Grove

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

- Outdoor surfaces

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in The Grove, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in The Grove
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
