Non-slip bath coating in Appleby-in-Westmorland without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Non-slip bath coating in Appleby-in-Westmorland, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Appleby-in-Westmorland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Appleby-in-Westmorland?
