Non-slip bath coating at your home in Scatsta
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Scatsta
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Scatsta
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scatsta as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Scatsta
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Scatsta contact us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t 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’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Scatsta
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
