About our non-slip bath coating in Horrocks Fold

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are 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.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horrocks Fold

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Horrocks Fold. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Horrocks Fold

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price
