How we handle non-slip bath coating in Mackerye End
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Mackerye End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mackerye End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
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 the same day in most cases.
