What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Fothergill, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
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 is no premium for Fothergill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Fothergill
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
