Non-slip bath coating in Little Abington, done in place

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 regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Little Abington

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Abington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Little Abington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
