Non-slip bath coating in West Cross, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in West Cross
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We do not charge extra for travel to West Cross. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common questions in West Cross
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN17 postcode.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in West Cross?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
