About our non-slip bath coating in Tankersley
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Tankersley
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Tankersley
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you work in Tankersley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tankersley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Landlord and trade work in Tankersley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
