Non-Slip Bath Coating in Kirkland
Non-slip bath coating for Kirkland, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kirkland
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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Kirkland questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Kirkland?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirkland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Kirkland?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Kirkland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Kirkland. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
What we are called out for in Kirkland
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.
Common reasons people in Kirkland contact us are:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
