Non-slip bath coating in Bilbrough, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Bilbrough
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you work in Bilbrough?
We do. We send a technician to Bilbrough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of York?
We cover the whole UK, including Bilbrough and the rest of York. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Bilbrough
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Bilbrough
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
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 will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
