Non-Slip Bath Coating for High Urpeth homes
We travel to High Urpeth for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Safety for older or less mobile people

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
When to call us in High Urpeth
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How we handle non-slip bath coating in High Urpeth
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in High Urpeth
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Urpeth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

High Urpeth questions
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 will get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
