About our non-slip bath coating in Horwich
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Horwich questions
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you cover Horwich?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Horwich and the rest of Bolton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Bolton?
The whole UK, including all of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horwich use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
When to call us in Horwich
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Horwich
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
