Non-slip bath & shower coating in Dunnington, York
Non-slip bath coating in and around Dunnington: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Non-slip bath coating in Dunnington, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Dunnington. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunnington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Dunnington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
