How we handle non-slip bath coating in Theale
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Theale
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Theale.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
