Non-slip bath coating in Over Hulton

Non-slip bath coating in Over Hulton 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. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Over Hulton

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
