Non-slip bath & shower coating in Southrey, Lincolnshire

Non-slip bath coating in Southrey without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southrey
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Southrey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Southrey?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking

Questions from Southrey
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Southrey?
We do. We send a technician to Southrey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
