Non-Slip Bath Coating for Atherton homes
Local non-slip bath coating for Atherton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
About our non-slip bath coating in Atherton
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Atherton and across Wigan. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Atherton
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Atherton
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Atherton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Atherton and the rest of Wigan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
