Non-slip bath coating in Shimpling, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Shimpling: your questions answered
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you cover Shimpling?
We do. We send a technician to Shimpling for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Shimpling
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses 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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
