Non-Slip Bath Coating in Preston-le-Skerne
We travel to Preston-le-Skerne for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us

Non-slip bath coating in Preston-le-Skerne, 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 work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Preston-le-Skerne as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Preston-le-Skerne. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Preston-le-Skerne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Preston-le-Skerne questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
