Non-Slip Bath Coating for Highley homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Highley, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Highley, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Highley
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Highley and the rest of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
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 price the job.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Common problems we fix in Highley
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
