Non-Slip Bath Coating for St Ive homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in St Ive and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in St Ive
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
What we’re called out for in St Ive

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
