Non-slip bath & shower coating in Wootton, Bedford Borough
We travel to Wootton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Non-slip bath coating in Wootton, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
