Non-slip bath & shower coating in Wilcott, Shropshire
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Wilcott, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Non-slip bath coating in Wilcott, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Wilcott questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY4 postcode.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilcott
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilcott use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Wilcott
There’s no charge for travel to Wilcott. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Wilcott get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
