Non-slip bath & shower coating in Gobowen, Shropshire
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays for homes and businesses in Gobowen and across Shropshire. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our non-slip bath coating in Gobowen
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Gobowen
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
