Non-slip bath coating in Latton, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Latton
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Latton
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Latton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Latton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Common problems we fix in Latton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
