Non-slip bath coating at your home in Foston
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

FAQs for Foston
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you work in Foston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Foston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicestershire.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Foston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add 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.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
