Related advice
Non-slip bath coating in Mellor without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Mellor
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Mellor?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Mellor and the rest of Stockport. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Mellor. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SK6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
