How we handle non-slip bath coating in Orwell
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Orwell
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 generally the cheaper route.
FAQs for Orwell
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Orwell?
We do. We send a technician to Orwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Orwell, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Orwell?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
