How we handle non-slip bath coating in Northorpe
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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Northorpe
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you come to Northorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Northorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What else we do in Northorpe
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
