Non-slip bath & shower coating in Chirton, North Tyneside
Our repair technicians come to Chirton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chirton
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Chirton?
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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Chirton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
