Non-slip bath coating in Lower Mannington, 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 resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower Mannington as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Lower Mannington
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths

- Shower trays

Lower Mannington questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Lower Mannington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lower Mannington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
