About our non-slip bath coating in Garth Row
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Garth Row and across Cumbria. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Garth Row
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Garth Row?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth Row
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Garth Row questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Garth Row?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
