Non-slip bath coating at your home in Houbie
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Houbie
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not 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 happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Houbie
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Houbie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Houbie
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
