Non-Slip Bath Coating for Crownthorpe homes
Our technicians come to Crownthorpe for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
About our non-slip bath coating in Crownthorpe
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repair or replace in Crownthorpe?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Crownthorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Crownthorpe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas

Common questions in Crownthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What affects the price in Crownthorpe
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
