Non-slip bath & shower coating in Highfield, Gateshead

- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Highfield, 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Highfield
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Highfield.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What areas do you cover?
All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

- Outdoor surfaces

Repair or replace in Highfield?
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Highfield
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What affects the price in Highfield
There’s no area surcharge for Highfield. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE39 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
