Non-Slip Bath Coating in Ashton-in-Makerfield
We travel to Ashton-in-Makerfield for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.

- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Non-slip bath coating in Ashton-in-Makerfield, done in place
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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Ashton-in-Makerfield. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Ashton-in-Makerfield
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Ashton-in-Makerfield questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
Repair or replace in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
