Non-slip bath coating at your home in Manchester
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Manchester
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
