About our non-slip bath coating in Newfound
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t 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.

Common questions in Newfound
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Newfound. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newfound. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Newfound
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Newfound?
Instead, you could go for 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
