About our non-slip bath coating in Searby
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Searby
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common problems we fix in Searby
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Searby
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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 repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Searby?
We do. Technicians travel to Searby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Searby. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Searby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Searby, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
