Non-slip bath coating in Wigton, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Wigton
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Wigton
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wigton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
