Non-slip bath coating in St Ann's Chapel, done in place
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 regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Ann's Chapel as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in St Ann's Chapel
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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in St Ann's Chapel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Other services in St Ann's Chapel
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in St Ann's Chapel
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
