Non-slip bath & shower coating in Poets Estate, Hertfordshire
We travel to Poets Estate for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating in Poets Estate, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poets Estate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Poets Estate
Do I have to be there?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
