Non-slip bath coating at your home in Crumpsall
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your M8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

What else we do in Crumpsall
Questions from Crumpsall
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Crumpsall?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Crumpsall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
