Non-slip bath & shower coating in Bill Quay, Gateshead
Our repair technicians come to Bill Quay for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
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 adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

About our non-slip bath coating in Bill Quay
It suits 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. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Bill Quay
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What non-slip bath coating costs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bill Quay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bill Quay
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bill Quay
- Resurfaced baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works
We turn 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.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
