How we handle non-slip bath coating in Slape Cross
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Landlord and trade work in Slape Cross
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we’re called out for in Slape Cross
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Slape Cross
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 adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
