How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating in Hoylake without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hoylake as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hoylake. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Hoylake
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Hoylake. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoylake
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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
