Non-slip bath & shower coating in Bedford, Bedford Borough

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bedford
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. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bedford and across Bedford Borough. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Bedford
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bedford.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Other services in Bedford
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Bedford
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
