Non-Slip Bath Coating in Kirby-le-Soken
We travel to Kirby-le-Soken 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
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kirby-le-Soken
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Kirby-le-Soken and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace in Kirby-le-Soken?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Take a look at our pricing.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Kirby-le-Soken?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
