Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tankerness
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Tankerness. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
