Non-Slip Bath Coating for Back homes
Our repair technicians come to Back for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating in Back without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
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.

FAQs for Back
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in Back
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Comparing quotes

- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
What affects the price in Back
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Other services in Back
Landlords, agents and businesses in Back
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
