- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Non-slip bath coating in Upper Race, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no charge for travel to Upper Race. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Race. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 typically the cheaper route.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Upper Race questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work in Upper Race?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Race from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Upper Race?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Should you replace it?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
