About our non-slip bath coating in Newstead
It suits 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. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Newstead?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Newstead questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you come to Newstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newstead and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Scottish Borders.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newstead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
