Non-slip bath coating across Lingwood and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Lingwood without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace in Lingwood?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
FAQs for Lingwood
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Lingwood included. Travel is included in the price.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you come to Lingwood?
We do. We send a technician to Lingwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos

- Natural light rather than flash
