Non-Slip Bath Coating in Old Warden
We travel to Old Warden for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Old Warden
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 are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Warden
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Old Warden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Old Warden
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Old Warden
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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
