Non-slip bath & shower coating in St Ives, Cambridgeshire
Our technicians come to St Ives for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in St Ives
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in St Ives
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in St Ives?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PE27 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in St Ives
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in St Ives
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
