Non-Slip Bath Coating for Heddle homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Heddle, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating in Heddle, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heddle use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no area surcharge for Heddle. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heddle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Heddle questions
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Heddle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Heddle. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we’re called out for in Heddle
Smooth surfaces are 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.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
