About our non-slip bath coating in Shelton Lock
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derby. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Shelton Lock
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Shelton Lock?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shelton Lock?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 won’t last.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelton Lock use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Repair or replace in Shelton Lock?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the whole UK
