Non-slip bath coating in Old Forge without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Old Forge and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Old Forge
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work in Old Forge?
We do. We send a technician to Old Forge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Old Forge?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Old Forge
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
