About our non-slip bath coating in New Inn
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for New Inn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in New Inn
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
