Non-Slip Bath Coating for Smallwood Hey homes
We travel to Smallwood Hey for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Smallwood Hey
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Smallwood Hey
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
