Non-slip bath & shower coating in Braithwaite, Doncaster
We travel to Braithwaite for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Braithwaite
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When to call us in Braithwaite
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Braithwaite
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
All of Doncaster, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Braithwaite?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
