- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Non-slip bath coating in Altofts without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, 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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Altofts: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Altofts. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you come to Altofts?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Altofts from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What else we do in Altofts
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
