Non-Slip Bath Coating for Sunk Island homes
We travel to Sunk Island for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Non-slip bath coating in Sunk Island, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
