You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gayton Thorpe
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gayton Thorpe as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Gayton Thorpe
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Gayton Thorpe questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Gayton Thorpe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Gayton Thorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Gayton Thorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
