Non-slip bath coating in Bishop's Stortford, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What non-slip bath coating costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Bishop's Stortford. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Common questions in Bishop's Stortford
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bishop's Stortford
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
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. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
