Non-slip bath coating in Westgate 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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Westgate
Do you come to Westgate?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Westgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Westgate included. Travel is included in the price.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Westgate?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
