Non-slip bath coating in Aycliffe, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Aycliffe
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Aycliffe?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aycliffe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
