How we handle non-slip bath coating in Poverest
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

What else we do in Poverest
When to call us in Poverest
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

What affects the price in Poverest
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Poverest
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Are you accredited?

Do you work in Poverest?
We do. We send a technician to Poverest for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
