Non-slip bath & shower coating in Great Houghton, Barnsley
We travel to Great Houghton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Great Houghton
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Great Houghton?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Great Houghton. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S72 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Great Houghton
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Great Houghton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Houghton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Barnsley?
All of Barnsley, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
