Non-Slip Bath Coating for Oundle homes
Local non-slip bath coating for Oundle: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our non-slip bath coating in Oundle
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Oundle questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Oundle?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Oundle. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What else we do in Oundle
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oundle as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
