Non-slip bath coating in Tranmere without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tranmere and across Liverpool. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Tranmere?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Tranmere?

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
