Non-Slip Bath Coating for Shadsworth homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Shadsworth and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shadsworth
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Shadsworth. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Shadsworth
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Blackburn with Darwen. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
