Non-slip bath coating in Waberthwaite without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Waberthwaite and across Cumbria. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Repair or replace in Waberthwaite?
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Waberthwaite. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Waberthwaite?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
