About our non-slip bath coating in Kirkby
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Most customers in Kirkby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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 adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkby
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
