Which areas do you work in?

Non-slip bath coating in Wharley End, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Wharley End
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Wharley End
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.
Common reasons people in Wharley End contact us include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
