About our non-slip bath coating in Houghton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Houghton as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.
Common questions in Houghton
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, 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.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Houghton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Houghton
We do not charge extra for travel to Houghton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO43 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
