Non-Slip Bath Coating in Smisby
Non-slip bath coating in and around Smisby: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Smisby
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 work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

What affects the price in Smisby
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- 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.
