Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shephall
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Shephall
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you work in Shephall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shephall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently 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.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer

- Outdoor surfaces

When to call us in Shephall
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
