How we handle non-slip bath coating in Amble
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Amble
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
Across the UK, so Amble is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE65 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Amble
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Amble get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
