Non-Slip Bath Coating for Wasbister homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Wasbister, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How it works
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. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For a price in Wasbister, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Non-slip bath coating in Wasbister, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no area surcharge for Wasbister. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KW16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Wasbister

Repair or replace in Wasbister?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Wasbister questions
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Landlord and trade work in Wasbister
If you manage property in Wasbister, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
