Non-slip bath coating at your home in Burnopfield
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burnopfield and across Gateshead. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Burnopfield questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Burnopfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Burnopfield. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Common problems we fix in Burnopfield
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
