Non-slip bath coating in Heighington without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.
Materials we work on in Heighington
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
Common problems we fix in Heighington
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
