Non-slip bath & shower coating in Grove, Nottinghamshire
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Grove, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Grove without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Grove as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Grove
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Grove: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Grove?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grove for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
