About our non-slip bath coating in Gowthorpe
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. 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 usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Gowthorpe
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Gowthorpe: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Gowthorpe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Gowthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
