About our non-slip bath coating in Wickham St Paul
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Wickham St Paul questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Repairing versus replacing in Wickham St Paul
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wickham St Paul. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
