How we handle non-slip bath coating in Dunshalt
The coating is clear and textured, 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. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunshalt
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunshalt
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Dunshalt
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Dunshalt?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
