How we handle non-slip bath coating in Caldy
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Caldy

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
If you are in Caldy and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
