About our non-slip bath coating in Swainsthorpe
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Swainsthorpe
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Swainsthorpe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 frequently lifts.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Swainsthorpe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
