Non-Slip Bath Coating for South Petherwin homes
Our technicians come to South Petherwin for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Non-slip bath coating in South Petherwin without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for South Petherwin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
