Non-Slip Bath Coating in West Cliff
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in West Cliff and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How we handle non-slip bath coating in West Cliff
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

West Cliff questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
