About our non-slip bath coating in Scalby
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Other services in Scalby
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
