Non-slip bath coating in Ilam without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Ilam?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Take a look at our pricing.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Most customers in Ilam get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Ilam
If you manage property in Ilam, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
