Non-Slip Bath Coating for Loanhead homes
We travel to Loanhead for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Loanhead, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How do I book?

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Loanhead?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
