How we handle non-slip bath coating in Barnwell
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Barnwell
We charge the same across the UK, including Barnwell. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Common problems we fix in Barnwell
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Most customers in Barnwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
