Non-Slip Bath Coating for Block Lane homes
Our repair technicians come to Block Lane for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work 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.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About our non-slip bath coating in Block Lane
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Block Lane
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Block Lane
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
When to call us in Block Lane
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
