Non-Slip Bath Coating in Upper Dicker

Non-slip bath coating in Upper Dicker without replacing anything
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. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
When to call us in Upper Dicker
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What affects the price in Upper Dicker
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Repair or replace in Upper Dicker?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day.
