Chinatown questions
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?
Everywhere in the UK, Chinatown included. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chinatown
It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Chinatown
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths

Covering Chinatown
Chinatown is about 1 mile west of Manchester, in Greater Manchester. Jobs in Chinatown are booked in like any other job: a fixed price from your photos, then a visit to do the work. Our technicians cover 72 places across Greater Manchester, from the larger towns to small villages.
Our visits in M1, M3 and M2 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Whether you live on Bow Lane, Tib Lane and New Market or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you.

What affects the price in Chinatown
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Chinatown
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chinatown
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chinatown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
