Non-Slip Bath Coating for Altarnun homes
We travel to Altarnun for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Altarnun
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Altarnun
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Altarnun
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Altarnun use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
