About our non-slip bath coating in Gasthorpe
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Gasthorpe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
