Non-slip bath & shower coating in Coates, Cambridgeshire

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Coates
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 enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Coates, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Coates
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)

FAQs for Coates
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
