Non-slip bath coating in Carlin How, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Carlin How
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
