Non-Slip Bath Coating in Powderhall
We travel to Powderhall for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Non-slip bath coating in Powderhall, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Powderhall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What do you need from me?

Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Powderhall, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
