Non-slip bath coating in Burnhope, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Burnhope
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Burnhope
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Burnhope
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Burnhope?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Burnhope. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH7 postcode.
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.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Burnhope
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace in Burnhope?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
