Non-slip bath coating at your home in Melbourne
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. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Melbourne
Do you cover Melbourne?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Melbourne and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Melbourne?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE73 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Melbourne. The price reflects:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Melbourne, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
