About our non-slip bath coating in Middlethorpe
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 usually put it right, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlethorpe

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Middlethorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Middlethorpe?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
What affects the price in Middlethorpe
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Middlethorpe: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
