Non-slip bath & shower coating in Anstey, Hertfordshire
Our technicians come to Anstey for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in Anstey, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.
You are 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. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Anstey
Do you work in Anstey?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Anstey. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Repair or replace in Anstey?
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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
