Non-slip bath & shower coating in Wigginton, York
Our technicians come to Wigginton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.
Advice
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Wigginton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Wigginton
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Wigginton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wigginton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 usually cheaper.
