About our non-slip bath coating in West Bank
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in West Bank
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West Bank. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

West Bank questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Halton?
Across the UK, and that includes West Bank. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are there extra charges for West Bank?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Common problems we fix in West Bank
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
