Non-slip bath coating in Preston, done in place
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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Preston
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

FAQs for Preston
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Preston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
