About our non-slip bath coating in Hurworth-on-Tees
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hurworth-on-Tees
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Hurworth-on-Tees?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
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.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Hurworth-on-Tees
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hurworth-on-Tees, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
