Non-Slip Bath Coating for Fawdon homes
Non-slip bath coating across Fawdon and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What we are called out for in Fawdon
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Fawdon
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fawdon
For anyone letting property in or around Fawdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Fawdon
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fawdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Fawdon
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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
