Non-slip bath coating at your home in Derwenthorpe
It’s popular with 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. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, 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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Derwenthorpe?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Derwenthorpe
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you come to Derwenthorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Derwenthorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
