Non-Slip Bath Coating for Newbrough homes
Non-slip bath coating across Newbrough and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newbrough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newbrough
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newbrough, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Newbrough?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure

Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Newbrough
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Newbrough?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
