How it 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 with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating in Trolliloes without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Trolliloes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Trolliloes

Look out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Trolliloes, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
