How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upper Pond Street
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
