Non-Slip Bath Coating for Silton homes
Our repair technicians come to Silton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most customers in Silton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our non-slip bath coating in Silton
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Silton as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays

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.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Silton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Silton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Silton
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
