Non-slip bath coating in Harrogate without replacing anything
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 repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Harrogate questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d 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.
Materials we work on in Harrogate
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Harrogate
The alternatives are 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
