Advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Barmston
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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Barmston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Barmston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Barmston
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Repair or replace in Barmston?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
