Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hopton, Staffordshire
Our repair technicians come to Hopton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Hopton
- Shower trays

- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hopton
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Hopton questions
Do you work in Hopton?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hopton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
