Non-slip bath & shower coating in Gateacre, Liverpool
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Gateacre and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating in Gateacre, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Gateacre
There is no area surcharge for Gateacre. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gateacre. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
