Non-slip bath coating in Forbes, done in place
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 work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
FAQs for Forbes
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you work in Forbes?
We do. Technicians travel to Forbes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What else we do in Forbes
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Forbes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Common problems we fix in Forbes
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forbes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
