Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
About our non-slip bath coating in Salford
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Salford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Salford
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Salford?

Are there extra charges for Salford?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Salford?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX7 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What else we do in Salford
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
