Our repair technicians come to East Didsbury for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

About our non-slip bath coating in East Didsbury
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

East Didsbury questions
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Didsbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in East Didsbury
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Common problems we fix in East Didsbury
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
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 doesn’t 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
