- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on

- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Birkenhead
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Birkenhead and across Wirral. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Birkenhead
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t 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.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CH43 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
