Non-slip bath coating in Carr Cross without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Carr Cross?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Carr Cross

  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Carr Cross questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Carr Cross?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sefton.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Carr Cross

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carr Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
