Non-Slip Bath Coating in Cross Gate
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Cross Gate, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Non-slip bath coating in Cross Gate without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Cross Gate?

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Cross Gate. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cross Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Cross Gate and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
