About our non-slip bath coating in Strensall
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Strensall and across York. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Strensall
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Strensall included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Strensall?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Strensall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Strensall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Strensall?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Strensall contact us are:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
