About our non-slip bath coating in Neston
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

Common problems we fix in Neston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Neston
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
