Non-slip bath coating in Tingwall, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Tingwall questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tingwall included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tingwall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Tingwall?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
