About our non-slip bath coating in Bretherton
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 safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Bretherton
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bretherton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Bretherton
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bretherton.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Bretherton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
