Non-Slip Bath Coating in Inkpen
Our repair technicians come to Inkpen for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

- Safety for older or less mobile people
Non-slip bath coating in Inkpen without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
In a village or hamlet like Inkpen, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Non-slip bath coating in place avoids all of that.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Inkpen?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. In an older home in a village like Inkpen, replacing a bath or shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Inkpen?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
In the older streets of Inkpen, around landmarks like Church of St Michael, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

We bring everything needed for the non-slip bath coating, so there is no second trip.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
