Non-Slip Bath Coating in Slough
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Slough, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Slough, done in place
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. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.
Repair or replace in Slough?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Slough. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Slough
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Slough: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Slough. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
