How we handle non-slip bath coating in Mountcastle
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. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Mountcastle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Mountcastle
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Repairing versus replacing in Mountcastle
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
FAQs for Mountcastle
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Mountcastle?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Mountcastle. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Mountcastle get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
