Non-slip bath coating in Shimpling, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, 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. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shimpling?
Smooth surfaces are 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Shimpling: your questions answered
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
