It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Waterlane, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Waterlane
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Waterlane?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL6 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
