Non-Slip Bath Coating for Archdeacon Newton homes

Non-slip bath coating in Archdeacon Newton without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Archdeacon Newton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Repair or replace in Archdeacon Newton?
Instead, you could go for 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Archdeacon Newton?
We do. Technicians travel to Archdeacon Newton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Landlord and trade work in Archdeacon Newton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Archdeacon Newton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
