Non-Slip Bath Coating in Eldon Lane
Non-slip bath coating across Eldon Lane and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Eldon Lane
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Eldon Lane
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you work in Eldon Lane?
We do. We send a technician to Eldon Lane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Eldon Lane
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Eldon Lane
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Repair or replace in Eldon Lane?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
