Non-slip bath coating in Duporth, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Duporth
Do you work in Duporth?
We do. We send a technician to Duporth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Duporth is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Duporth
- Enamelled baths

- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Common problems we fix in Duporth
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- 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, generally overnight.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Duporth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
