Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Caton and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Caton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Caton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
