Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hendon, Sunderland

Non-slip bath coating in Hendon, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing versus replacing in Hendon
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hendon?
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Hendon. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Hendon
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Hendon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hendon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
