Non-slip bath coating in East Boldon, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in East Boldon
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no charge for travel to East Boldon. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from East Boldon
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the whole of South Tyneside?
Across the UK, so East Boldon is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
