Non-slip bath coating in Stronord, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Stronord
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Stronord included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Stronord?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Stronord. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths

Repair or replace in Stronord?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
