How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sandwith
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 wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are 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.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Repair or replace in Sandwith?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Sandwith
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Sandwith get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sandwith
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
