How we handle non-slip bath coating in Heskin
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Heskin
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 will say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Heskin
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
