How we handle non-slip bath coating in Deighton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Deighton and across York. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.

What we are called out for in Deighton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Deighton
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
