Non-Slip Bath Coating in Backbarrow
Our technicians come to Backbarrow for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
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 adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Non-slip bath coating in Backbarrow, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no charge for travel to Backbarrow. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Backbarrow
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backbarrow as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
