Non-slip bath coating in Wilmington without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Common problems we fix in Wilmington
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Wilmington
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Wilmington?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HU8 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
