Non-slip bath coating in Gateshead without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Gateshead
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Gateshead
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Gateshead?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Gateshead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
