About our non-slip bath coating in Upper Sanday
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Upper Sanday

People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- 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
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
