Non-slip bath & shower coating in Stowford, Cheshire East
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Stowford and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
About our non-slip bath coating in Stowford
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CW1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Repair or replace in Stowford?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
