Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sherwood
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Sherwood
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Nottingham?
The entire UK, including all of Nottingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Sherwood?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sherwood
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
