How we handle non-slip bath coating in Pennington Green
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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Pennington Green
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Pennington Green
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wigan.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What affects the price in Pennington Green
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Landlord and trade work in Pennington Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Pennington Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pennington Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
