Non-slip bath & shower coating in Carleton, Wakefield

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Carleton
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Carleton
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 are paying for.

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
