How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Non-slip bath coating in Wash Water, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
FAQs for Wash Water
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
