Non-Slip Bath Coating in Great Chesterford
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Great Chesterford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Non-slip bath coating in Great Chesterford, done in place
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. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
In and around Great Chesterford, homes are a mix of older cottages and newer houses. Some still have cast iron or steel baths, which are worth keeping, and newer ones normally have acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Great Chesterford
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
In the older streets of Great Chesterford, around landmarks like Church of All Saints, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
