Non-slip bath coating in Scotton without replacing anything

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 shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scotton and across North Yorkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Scotton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Scotton

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Scotton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

Scotton: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover Scotton?

We do. We send a technician to Scotton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather 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.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths

Repair or replace in Scotton?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
