About our non-slip bath coating in Wirksworth
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Wirksworth
We don’t charge extra for travel to Wirksworth. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: 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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Wirksworth
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.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Wirksworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
