Non-slip bath coating in Potternewton without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Potternewton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Potternewton: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leeds.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: 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 photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Potternewton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
