Non-slip bath coating in Nimble Nook, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Nimble Nook questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace in Nimble Nook?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When we’d advise against a repair
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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Nimble Nook?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nimble Nook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Nimble Nook
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
