Non-slip bath & shower coating in Westhumble, Surrey
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Westhumble and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Non-slip bath coating in Westhumble, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Westhumble questions
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Repairing versus replacing in Westhumble
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 how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Westhumble, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
