Non-slip bath coating in Dunston, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Dunston
Are there extra charges for Dunston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Dunston
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
