About our non-slip bath coating in Tenston
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Tenston?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Tenston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Tenston
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
