Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lyford
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lyford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Lyford
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Lyford: your questions answered
Do you cover Lyford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lyford and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
