Non-slip bath coating for Chorlton-on-Medlock homes

Non-slip bath coating in Chorlton-on-Medlock without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Chorlton-on-Medlock

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Chorlton-on-Medlock contact us are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Chorlton-on-Medlock

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
