How we handle non-slip bath coating in Scaldwell
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Scaldwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Scaldwell
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Scaldwell?
We do. We send a technician to Scaldwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Scaldwell
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
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 adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
