Non-Slip Bath Coating in Lumb
We travel to Lumb for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lumb
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Lumb
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Questions from Lumb
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
