About our non-slip bath coating in Elmer
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Elmer
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Elmer?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we are called out for in Elmer
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
