Trusted non-slip bath coating in Water

Non-slip bath coating in Water, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Water

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Water

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Water. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Water

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
