Non-Slip Bath Coating for Howe Hill homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Howe Hill, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Howe Hill
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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Howe Hill
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Howe Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 often lifts.
When to call us in Howe Hill
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
