Non-slip bath coating in Greenside, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Greenside as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Greenside
Instead, you could go for 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: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE40 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Greenside
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Greenside questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Greenside?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Greenside?
We do. Technicians travel to Greenside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Greenside?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
