About our non-slip bath coating in West Park
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for West Park
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
