Non-slip bath coating in Newbiggin without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newbiggin as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Newbiggin
The alternatives are 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Newbiggin: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Newbiggin?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in Newbiggin
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
