Non-Slip Bath Coating for Gracemount homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Gracemount and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gracemount
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Gracemount
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Same prices wherever you are

Gracemount: your questions answered
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Gracemount. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Gracemount
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
