Questions from Kirkthorpe
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

About our non-slip bath coating in Kirkthorpe
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Kirkthorpe?
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:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Kirkthorpe
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
