About our non-slip bath coating in Salford
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

FAQs for Salford
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
