Book non-slip bath coating in Newburn

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Newburn

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Newburn

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Newcastle upon Tyne.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Newburn

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Newburn

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
