Non-slip bath & shower coating in Newton, Cumbria
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Newton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in Newton, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newton as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Newton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Newton. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Newton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
