Non-slip bath coating in Waterhall, done in place
It suits 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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Waterhall
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, 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
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Waterhall
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Common problems we fix in Waterhall
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Common reasons people in Waterhall contact us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
