About our non-slip bath coating in Haroldswick
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Haroldswick
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Haroldswick
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Haroldswick.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Haroldswick?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Haroldswick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haroldswick
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
