About our non-slip bath coating in Croft-on-Tees
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Croft-on-Tees
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When to call us in Croft-on-Tees
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
