Non-slip bath coating in Westcot without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Westcot get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Westcot?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Westcot
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Westcot
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Westcot included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
