Non-slip bath & shower coating in North Petherton, Somerset
Our technicians come to North Petherton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in North Petherton without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
Every job is backed for twelve months in North Petherton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including North Petherton. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
