How we handle non-slip bath coating in Mountsett
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Mountsett: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover Mountsett?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Mountsett from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Mountsett?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Mountsett
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.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Mountsett and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
