Non-slip bath coating in Kirkley without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Kirkley?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Kirkley
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
