Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hincaster, Cumbria
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Hincaster and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our non-slip bath coating in Hincaster
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hincaster, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hincaster?

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no charge for travel to Hincaster. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Hincaster, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Hincaster
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Hincaster: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hincaster and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
