Non-Slip Bath Coating for Acrefair homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Acrefair, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Non-slip bath coating in Acrefair, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Acrefair questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Acrefair?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Acrefair for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover the entire of Wrexham?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Acrefair. Prices do not change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Acrefair
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip 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 items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
