Non-slip bath coating in Lincoln without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Lincoln questions
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you come to Lincoln?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lincoln. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces

What else we do in Lincoln
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
If you’re in Lincoln and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Lincoln?
Smooth surfaces are 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.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
