Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sawley
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t 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 a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Sawley. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HG4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Sawley
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
