Non-slip bath coating in Leigh, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Common questions in Leigh
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Leigh?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Leigh?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What else we do in Leigh
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Most customers in Leigh get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 booking.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leigh

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leigh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Leigh
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.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
