Non-Slip Bath Coating for Haughley homes
Our technicians come to Haughley for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Haughley without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Haughley
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Haughley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
