Non-slip bath coating in Keswick, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Keswick

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
