Non-Slip Bath Coating for Owmby-by-Spital homes
We travel to Owmby-by-Spital for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Owmby-by-Spital
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Owmby-by-Spital questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Owmby-by-Spital
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
