About our non-slip bath coating in Tan Hills
It suits 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 work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Tan Hills
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tan Hills. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tan Hills, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
