Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

About our non-slip bath coating in New Seaham
It’s popular with 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 safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in New Seaham
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SR7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
