Non-slip bath coating at your home in May Bank
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in May Bank
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in May Bank get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in May Bank
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
