Non-Slip Bath Coating in Martlesham
We travel to Martlesham 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
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Martlesham
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
Martlesham: your questions answered
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work in Martlesham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Martlesham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Martlesham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
