Non-slip bath coating in Kearsley without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Kearsley questions

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BL4 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Kearsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Kearsley

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get 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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
