Non-slip bath & shower coating in Eye, Herefordshire
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Eye and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Non-slip bath coating in Eye without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths

Common questions in Eye
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Eye?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Eye from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
When to call us in Eye
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Eye?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray.
