How we handle non-slip bath coating in Howbrook
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Howbrook and across Sheffield. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Howbrook
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What affects the price in Howbrook
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Howbrook and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Howbrook
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace in Howbrook?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
