Non-Slip Bath Coating for Sewell homes
Non-slip bath coating across Sewell and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
About our non-slip bath coating in Sewell
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Sewell
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LU6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit

Repair or replace in Sewell?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Common questions in Sewell
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Landlord and trade work in Sewell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Sewell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
When to call us in Sewell
