About our non-slip bath coating in Far Sawrey
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s 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.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Far Sawrey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Far Sawrey get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
