About our non-slip bath coating in Wheatcroft
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Wheatcroft. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Wheatcroft
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Wheatcroft?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What else we do in Wheatcroft
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wheatcroft
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wheatcroft use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
