Non-slip bath & shower coating in Mears Ashby, Northamptonshire

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Mears Ashby
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. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Mears Ashby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
