Non-slip bath coating in Wharton without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wharton and across Cumbria. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
