Non-slip bath coating in Ackton, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ackton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. 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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Ackton
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ackton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ackton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Ackton: your questions answered
Do you come to Ackton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ackton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Ackton?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wakefield.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
