Non-slip bath & shower coating in Featherstone, Wakefield

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Featherstone
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Featherstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Featherstone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Featherstone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
