About our non-slip bath coating in Horncliffe
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Horncliffe?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Horncliffe: your questions answered
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
