About our non-slip bath coating in Bishop Thornton
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’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Bishop Thornton: your questions answered
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bishop Thornton. Prices do not change with location.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bishop Thornton.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishop Thornton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Bishop Thornton
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HG3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bishop Thornton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
