Non-slip bath & shower coating in Benter, Somerset
Non-slip bath coating in Benter without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Non-slip bath coating in Benter without replacing anything
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. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Benter
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Benter. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Benter
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before you book.

Questions from Benter
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Benter?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Benter?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Benter and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
