Non-slip bath & shower coating in New Ridley, Northumberland
Local non-slip bath coating for New Ridley: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How we handle non-slip bath coating in New Ridley
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in New Ridley
Will the price change on the day?
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: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We do not charge extra for travel to New Ridley. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in New Ridley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Ridley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
