How we handle non-slip bath coating in East Denton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Common problems we fix in East Denton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in East Denton

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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 Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
