Non-slip bath coating in Newby, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Newby
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newby
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Newby
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For a price in Newby, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
