About our non-slip bath coating in Lakeside
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lakeside and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Lakeside
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Lakeside?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA12 postcode.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you cover Lakeside?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lakeside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Repair or replace in Lakeside?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
