Non-slip bath coating at your home in Marston
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Marston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Marston
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Marston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Marston and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Marston is covered. Prices do not change with location.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Marston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- How to care for the finish
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
