Non-Slip Bath Coating for Benslow homes
We travel to Benslow for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Benslow without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
In and around Benslow, homes are a mix of older cottages and newer houses. Some still have cast iron or steel baths, which are worth keeping, and newer ones generally have acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. In a smaller place like Benslow, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Repairing versus replacing in Benslow
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. For a home around Benslow where the bath or shower tray is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
