Non-Slip Bath Coating in Tonwell
Non-slip bath coating across Tonwell and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Tonwell, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tonwell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Tonwell?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Tonwell: your questions answered
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
