Non-Slip Bath Coating for Castle Dene homes
Our repair technicians come to Castle Dene for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our non-slip bath coating in Castle Dene
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Castle Dene?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Castle Dene
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castle Dene use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
