Non-slip bath & shower coating in Stoke, Medway

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stoke
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- 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, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stoke, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- 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
