Non-Slip Bath Coating for Herrington homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Herrington and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Herrington
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 resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Herrington: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Herrington?
We do. We send a technician to Herrington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Herrington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herrington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SR3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
