Non-Slip Bath Coating for The Tuckies homes
We travel to The Tuckies for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in The Tuckies
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in The Tuckies?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Tuckies use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in The Tuckies
There’s no charge for travel to The Tuckies. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in The Tuckies, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
