Non-slip bath coating at your home in Boulmer
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Boulmer: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you cover Boulmer?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Boulmer from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What else we do in Boulmer
How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Boulmer
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Boulmer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
