Non-Slip Bath Coating for Vassa homes
Non-slip bath coating across Vassa and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Vassa without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Vassa?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Vassa: your questions answered
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Vassa
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Vassa contact us are:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
