How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shinfield
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. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.
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.

More services for Shinfield
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shinfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Shinfield
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
