Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shandon
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Shandon

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Shandon
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
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.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Shandon, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
