Non-Slip Bath Coating in Hanford
Non-slip bath coating across Hanford and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in Hanford, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Hanford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hanford. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually 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.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Hanford
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
