- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Preston
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Preston
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you work in Preston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Preston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Preston?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Preston
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
