Non-slip bath & shower coating in Heathfield, Cambridgeshire
Non-slip bath coating in and around Heathfield: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Heathfield
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Heathfield
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Heathfield questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over 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
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
