Non-Slip Bath Coating for Carrick Knowe homes
Our technicians come to Carrick Knowe for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carrick Knowe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Non-slip bath coating in Carrick Knowe without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Carrick Knowe
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
