FAQs for Felling
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Felling.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Non-slip bath coating in Felling, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Felling. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Felling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Felling, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
