About our non-slip bath coating in Horse Dale
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horse Dale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Horse Dale
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Horse Dale?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Horse Dale questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
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 do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in Horse Dale
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
