About our non-slip bath coating in Earcroft
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Earcroft as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Earcroft
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Earcroft and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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.

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
