About our non-slip bath coating in Shifnal
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shifnal as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Shifnal
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
