Non-slip bath & shower coating in Cleator, Cumbria
We travel to Cleator for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Cleator
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Cleator
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Cleator?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work in Cleator?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cleator and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
