How non-slip bath coating works in County Durham

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in County Durham

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in County Durham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in County Durham

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are there extra charges for County Durham?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in County Durham.
