About our non-slip bath coating in Downham
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. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Downham and across Lancashire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Downham
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Downham: your questions answered
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Landlord and trade work in Downham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Downham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Downham
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Downham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
