Non-slip bath coating at your home in Elvet
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Elvet questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
