Non-slip bath coating in Tarbet, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Tarbet. The price reflects:

- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Tarbet?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tarbet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
