Non-slip bath coating at your home in Balderstone
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Balderstone questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Balderstone.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Balderstone
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
