Non-slip bath & shower coating in Grassthorpe, Nottinghamshire
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Grassthorpe and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Non-slip bath coating in Grassthorpe, 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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Grassthorpe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repairing versus replacing in Grassthorpe
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Grassthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Nottinghamshire.

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What affects the price in Grassthorpe
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grassthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
