Non-slip bath & shower coating in Dalton, Lancashire
Non-slip bath coating for Dalton, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Dalton
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dalton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Common questions in Dalton
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Dalton?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Dalton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Dalton
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
