Non-Slip Bath Coating for Padanaram homes
Our technicians come to Padanaram 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
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Padanaram
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 enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Padanaram: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are there extra charges for Padanaram?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Padanaram, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Padanaram
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.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For a price in Padanaram, 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.
