Non-slip bath coating at your home in Elswick
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Elswick and across Newcastle upon Tyne. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.

- The clear textured coating is applied.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Elswick
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Elswick?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE4 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Elswick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What else we do in Elswick
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Elswick and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
