Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ivegill
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Ivegill questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ivegill and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Common problems we fix in Ivegill
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Ivegill. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
