Non-slip bath coating in West Reading without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in West Reading
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?

What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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
