Non-slip bath coating at your home in Matterdale End
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 shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Matterdale End
Common problems we fix in Matterdale End
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Matterdale End, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
