How we handle non-slip bath coating in Water End
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t 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

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Water End
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for Water End. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Water End get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
