How we handle non-slip bath coating in Handley
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Handley
Handley: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your S45 postcode.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you cover Handley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Handley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
