Non-slip bath coating for Newbiggin homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newbiggin

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Newbiggin

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Newbiggin

There’s no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
