Non-Slip Bath Coating in Timbercliffe
Non-slip bath coating for Timbercliffe, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Timbercliffe
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Timbercliffe
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Timbercliffe
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
