Non-slip bath coating in Preston, done in place
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 enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
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, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Preston. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Preston
Are there extra charges for Preston?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Preston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Preston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Preston and the rest of Rutland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
