Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in Horsley Hill without replacing anything

It’s popular with 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 work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsley Hill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Tyneside and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Horsley Hill. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Horsley Hill

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover the entire of South Tyneside?

We work UK-wide, so Horsley Hill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you cover Horsley Hill?

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairing versus replacing in Horsley Hill

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
