- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bishopwearmouth
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Most jobs around Bishopwearmouth are in family homes and bungalows. A chip, rust spot or worn surface is repaired in a single visit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Bishopwearmouth?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. For a home around Bishopwearmouth where the bath or shower tray is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. For a home in Bishopwearmouth, we normally park close by and start immediately, after agreeing the plan with you.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common problems we fix in Bishopwearmouth
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
If you let a flat or house near Sunderland station (in Bishopwearmouth itself), we repair baths and shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
