Non-slip bath & shower coating in Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Great Shelford and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Non-slip bath coating in Great Shelford, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
FAQs for Great Shelford
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Great Shelford

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
