About our non-slip bath coating in Draughton
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Draughton
There’s no charge for travel to Draughton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Draughton questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Draughton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
