Common reasons people in Hoy contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

Non-slip bath coating in Hoy, done in place
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. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Hoy
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath 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. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hoy
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What else we do in Hoy
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
