Non-slip bath coating in Houghton, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Houghton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Houghton
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
