Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hints, Shropshire
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Hints, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Non-slip bath coating in Hints, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Hints
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hints?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hints. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
