Non-slip bath & shower coating in Threlkeld, Cumbria
We travel to Threlkeld for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Threlkeld
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. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Threlkeld: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Threlkeld?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Threlkeld?
Smooth surfaces are 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
