Non-slip bath & shower coating in Howgill, North Yorkshire

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Howgill
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. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no charge for travel to Howgill. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Howgill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Howgill
Instead, you could go for 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Howgill
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Howgill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Howgill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Howgill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Howgill?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Howgill?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 repair

- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we are called out for in Howgill
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
