Non-Slip Bath Coating in Grotton
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Grotton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Non-slip bath coating in Grotton without replacing anything
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’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Grotton. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Grotton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you come to Grotton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Grotton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL4 postcode.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
The entire UK, including all of Oldham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repair or replace in Grotton?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
