Non-Slip Bath Coating in Ilkeston
We travel to Ilkeston for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ilkeston
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ilkeston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ilkeston?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilkeston
If you manage property in Ilkeston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Ilkeston
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
