About our non-slip bath coating in Shirwell
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shirwell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Shirwell questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
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.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Common problems we fix in Shirwell

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
