About our non-slip bath coating in Westacott
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Westacott
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What we are called out for in Westacott
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Westacott contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Westacott. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Westacott?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
