Non-slip bath coating at your home in Upper Benefield
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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There is 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 will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Most clients in Upper Benefield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Upper Benefield
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Benefield
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
