Non-Slip Bath Coating for Irvine homes
Our technicians come to Irvine for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
About our non-slip bath coating in Irvine
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Irvine
If you manage property in Irvine, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no area surcharge for Irvine. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Common questions in Irvine
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Irvine?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Irvine
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
