Non-slip bath coating in Wilmington, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Wilmington
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Wilmington?
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
