Non-Slip Bath Coating in Castle Acre
We travel to Castle Acre for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Castle Acre
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Castle Acre
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castle Acre use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Castle Acre
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Repair or replace in Castle Acre?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Castle Acre. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Castle Acre. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Castle Acre, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Castle Acre
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
