What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Non-slip bath coating in Wistow without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Wistow questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Wistow and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wistow
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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’ll say what we think.
