Non-slip bath coating in Thorlby, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorlby and across North Yorkshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Thorlby
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Thorlby. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Thorlby get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thorlby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Thorlby
Is a repair better than a new one?

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
