- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lanner
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Lanner, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Lanner
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Lanner: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
