Non-slip bath & shower coating in Baybridge, County Durham
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Baybridge, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Baybridge
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Baybridge: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
