- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in New Houses
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in New Houses
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in New Houses
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Houses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oldham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
