Non-slip bath & shower coating in Newnham, Cambridgeshire
We travel to Newnham for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newnham
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Newnham
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Landlord and trade work in Newnham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Newnham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Newnham questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you come to Newnham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newnham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Newnham
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Newnham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
