Non-slip bath & shower coating in Horbury, Wakefield
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Horbury and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Horbury
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Horbury?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Horbury
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Horbury
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

- Aftercare advice

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
FAQs for Horbury
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
Everywhere in the UK, Horbury included. Travel is included in the price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
