The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Dunston
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dunston and across Norfolk. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Dunston
Landlord and trade work in Dunston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Dunston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Dunston
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
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 adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Dunston
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR14 postcode.

What affects the price in Dunston
There’s no area surcharge for Dunston. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
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’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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 over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
