Non-slip bath coating at your home in Darland
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Darland and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Darland questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wrexham.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Around Darland
We visit homes around The Nags Head pub, St Peter's CIW Voluntary Controlled Primary School and Darland High School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Caergwrle station, about 4.1 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Roft Motte (1.5 miles south-west) and Trevalyn Manor (0.9 miles south-west). Not far away are The Flash and Wilderness Tip (Gresford).
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Darland
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What else we do in Darland
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
