Non-Slip Bath Coating for Knotty Ash homes
Non-slip bath coating across Knotty Ash and nearby, usually in one visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Knotty Ash
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Liverpool. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knotty Ash. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Knotty Ash
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
