About our non-slip bath coating in Shawhead
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures 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.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shawhead?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Shawhead
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
