About our non-slip bath coating in Stoke
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stoke as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Stoke: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
