Non-Slip Bath Coating for Shortlands homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Shortlands, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Shortlands without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Repair or replace in Shortlands?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shortlands use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

We work UK-wide, and that includes Shortlands. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work in Shortlands?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shortlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
