About our non-slip bath coating in Scunthorpe
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Scunthorpe questions
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repair or replace in Scunthorpe?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
