How we handle non-slip bath coating in Little Houghton
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
In a village or hamlet like Little Houghton, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Little Houghton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Landlords with property near Northampton station (about 3.5 miles west) use us between tenancies, so baths and shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. In a village or hamlet like Little Houghton, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the non-slip bath coating works exactly as anywhere else.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Little Houghton
Will you travel to Little Houghton?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords with property near Northampton station?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is generally quicker than replacing.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Little Houghton?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN7 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. In an older home in a village like Little Houghton, replacing a bath or shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
