About our non-slip bath coating in Newnham Murren
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Newnham Murren 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.

When to call us in Newnham Murren
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Newnham Murren
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Newnham Murren?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newnham Murren. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What non-slip bath coating costs

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
