Non-Slip Bath Coating for Barnard Castle homes
Our technicians come to Barnard Castle for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Barnard Castle
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Barnard Castle
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. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Barnard Castle
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Barnard Castle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barnard Castle and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Barnard Castle
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
