Non-slip bath coating at your home in Meliden
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Denbighshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Meliden
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
