Non-slip bath & shower coating in Newton, Tameside
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Newton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Newton
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Newton
Are there extra charges for Newton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Newton?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Tameside. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There is 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’ll reply with a fixed price.
