Non-slip bath & shower coating in Fernilee, Derbyshire
Non-slip bath coating across Fernilee and nearby, generally in one visit.
- 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?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in Fernilee, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Fernilee
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fernilee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Fernilee
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Fernilee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Fernilee included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
