Non-slip bath coating in Penrith without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Penrith
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Penrith?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penrith for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
Everywhere in the UK, Penrith included. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Penrith?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Other services in Penrith
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Penrith
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Penrith and nearby
Penrith is about 17 miles south-east of Carlisle, in Cumbria. From the centre of Penrith to the outlying streets, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Penrith is one of 438 towns and villages in Cumbria where we work. We work right across the region, from Penrith to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 50 miles away).
Jobs in CA11 and CA10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes on Market Square, Corn Market and Corney Square and the roads around them. Penrith sits on or near the A6 and A592, so getting to you is simple. We also cover the places around Penrith: Fair Hill (1 mile north-west), Carleton (1 mile east), Eamont Bridge (1 mile south), Red Hills (1 mile south-west) and Brougham (1 mile south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Appleby-in-Westmorland (12 miles south-east), Chestnut Hill (15 miles west), Bongate (12 miles south-east), Dalston (15 miles north-west), Shap (10 miles south) and Wetheral (15 miles north). As one of the bigger places in Cumbria, Penrith sees plenty of our work.
Around Penrith
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Castle Park, St Andrew's Church and The Elbow Room Public House, among other places. Other local landmarks include Ullswater Community College (within half a mile south) and Brunswick School (less than half a mile north-west). There’s a railway station in Penrith itself: Penrith station. A little further out are Penrith and Eden Museum (less than half a mile east) and Strickland's Pele Tower and Penrith Castle (less than half a mile south-west). Not far away are Dunmallard Hill.
Landlord and trade work in Penrith
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Penrith
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
