Non-slip bath & shower coating in Freston, Suffolk
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Freston, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Freston
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Freston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Freston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Freston?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
