About our non-slip bath coating in Newton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newton as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Newton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
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.
Common problems we fix in Newton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
