How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shapwick
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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shapwick?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no area surcharge for Shapwick. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
