Non-Slip Bath Coating in Low Nibthwaite

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Low Nibthwaite
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Low Nibthwaite and across Cumbria. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Low Nibthwaite
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Low Nibthwaite questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Low Nibthwaite?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Low Nibthwaite. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
